That's just another application of HDMI CEC, just like controlling a DVD/Bluray player with your TV remote.

Is it just me who is bothered how every OEM has some weird and wonderful CEC rebrand? Sony calls theirs Bravia Sync for example.

It's to trick people into thinking they can only buy a Sony Blu-ray player to go along with their Sony TV to go along their Sony soundbar. I'm glad everyone's stuff gets along for the most part but the fake vendor lock-in is lame.
